NO EXCEL An engineer is trying to decide which process to use to reduce sludge volume prior to disposal. Belt filter presses (BFP) will cost $200,000 to buy and $80,000 per year to operate. Belts will be replaced one time per year at a cost of $5,500. Centrifuges will cost $400,000 to buy and $120,000 per year to operate, but because the centrifuge will produce a thicker cake, the sludge hauling cost to the monofill will be $30,000 per year less than for the belt presses. The useful lives are 5 and 10 years for BFP and the Centrifuge respectively. The salvage values are assumed to be 10% of the first cost of each process whenever they are closed down or replaced. The interest rate is 8%. Use the PW method to select the more economical process.Determine the process to compare alternatives on an equal basis and select the alternative that is wisest from an economic standpoint?Ken Allen, capital budgeting analyst for Bally Gears, Inc., has been asked to evaluate a proposal. The manager of the automotive division believes that replacing therobotics used on the heavy truck gear line will produce total benefits of $516,000 (in today's dollars) over the next 5 years. The existing robotics would produce benefits of $387,000 (also in today's dollars) over that same timeperiod. An initial cash investment of $206,400 would be required to install the new equipment. The manager estimates that the existing robotics can be sold for $72,000. Show how Ken will apply marginal cost-benefit analysistechniques to determine the following:a. The marginal benefits of the proposed new robotics.b. The marginal cost of the proposed new roboticsc. The net benefit of the proposed new robotics.
- A new highway is to be constructed, and asphalt paving will be used. The asphalt will cost $150 per foot, including the material and the paving operation. Due to the heavy usage expected, the asphalt is expected to last 5 years before requiring resurfacing. It is anticipated that the cost of resurfacing will remain the same per foot. Concrete drainage ditches will be installed to each side of the highway; they will each cost $7.75 per foot to install. Ditches will have to be replaced every 15 years; the cost of replacing them will also be $7.75 per foot. Four pipe culverts will be installed every mile; each culvert will cost $8,000 and will last 10 years; replacement culverts will cost $10,000 each, indefinately. Annual maintanance of the highway will cost $9,000 per mile. Cleaning each culvert will cost $1,250 per year. Cleaning and maintaining each ditch will cost $3.75 per foot per year. Determine the capitalized cost (CC) per mile of highway using a MARR of 5%.Ken Allen, capital budgeting analyst for Bally Gears, Inc., has been asked to evaluate a proposal. The manager of the automotive division believes that replacing the robotics used on the heavy truck gear line will produce total benefits of $560,000 (in today's dollars) over the next 5 years. The existing robotics would produce benefits of $400,000 (also in today's dollars) over that same time period. An initial cash investment of $220,000 would be required to install the new equipment. The manager estimates that the existing robotics can be sold for $70,000. Show how Ken will apply marginal cost-benefit analysis techniques to determine the following: The marginal (added) benefits of the proposed new robotics is $______________ The marginal (added) cost of the proposed new robotics is $__________________ The net benefit of the proposed new robotics isIn decision making process, the most important role of engineering economist is to define feasible alternatives.

- Consider the following assumptions, field size 640 acres, non-cropped area 5 acres, 2600' total length center pivot cost of 30,000 with a life expectancy of 15 years, corn selling price of $3.75 per bushel, expected grain yield of 160 bushels per acre. If SDI irrigation costs $675 per acre installed with a life expectancy of 25 years, expected yield of 160 bushels per acre, you would be money ahead to install SDI. True FalseSeawater contains 2.1 pounds of magnesium per ton. By using the processingmethod A, 85% of the metal can be recovered at a cost of 3.25 per ton of water pumped andprocessed. If process B is used, 70% of the available metal is recovered, at a cost of only 2.60per ton of water pumped and processed. The two processes are substantially equal as toinvestment costs and time requirements. (a) If the extracted metal can be sold for 2.40 perpound, which processing method should be used? (b) At what selling price for the metal wouldbe two processes be equally economical?Answer with complete solution brief explanation. Thank you.Problem 1: Loblolly Pine Plantation (Known Rotation Range) A forester is considering planting loblolly pine on a recently acquired site. They expect the optimal rotation to be between 20 and 40 years. The following information is available: • • • • Land cost: $500/acre (one-time cost at year 0) Establishment cost: $250/acre at year 0 Annual property taxes: $3/acre/year Timber price: $100/acre/year (assumed constant throughout the rotation) Discount rate: 7% Calculate the LEV for each year between 20 and 40 years and identify the optimal rotation age that maximizes LEV.
- It is proposed to place a cable on existing pole line along the shore of a lake to connect two points on opposite sides. Which is more economical? Compare alternatives using the following methods:a) ROR on Additional Investment Methodb) Annual Cost Methodc) Equivalent Uniform Annual Cost Methodd) Present Worth Cost Method Show complete manual solutiononly part d solution is neededSITUATION3: Under the data collected from the office of Department of Transportation and DPWH over the last 5 years indicate that for each fatality, there are 40 non-fatal injury accidents ($1500 present cost each) and 300 property damage accidents ($2000 present cost each). What is the breakeven value of statistical Me (VSL) needed to justify a highway project if i is 8%? The death rate on a particular three-lane road is 8 per 100 million vehicle-miles. Adding a lane would reduce this to 5 per million, and other accidents would cost $1.5M per mile to build, and annual maintenance would be 3% of the first cost. Assume that the lane would last 40 years. The road carries 10000 vehicle per day. Use reduction factor of 3/8 for all accidents. (Non-CE students no need to answer this item).
